OK, got it. I have a follow-up question though. If a given spec DID NOT require spec_helper.rb, doesn't that imply that the spec would be run against the Rails "development" environment.
Basically, the normal operation is that your spec requires spec_helper, which eventually requires the test_helper which comes with rails, which sets the constant:
RAILS_ENV = "test"
I just did a test where I printed out the configuration of one of my classes DB connnections (e.g. Blah.connection.inspect where Blah is an AR model). And I saw that the "database" setting in this was development. My spec definitely inserts data into the DB. I kind of expected to see additional rows in the table in question. But I just realized that each spec is probably surrounded by a transaction - is that correct?
Yes. Assuming you have transaction_fixtures = true. This is how rails resets the database between each test (at least after rails 1.2).
